10 Worlds I'd Never Want to Occupy or Characters I'd Never Want To Be

Hello Lovelies! As always TTT is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is centered around universes and people we would NEVER want to be a part of.

1. The Maze Runner universe

You all know I thought those books were crap. And the universe would be horrible for me. First of all, I'm a lady so I'd probably die immediately from something stupid. Secondly, the first part of the universe is just a huge maze, and I would not want to run that maze, no thank you! Third, the universe is so badly built I'd probably find a plot hole and fall to my death.

 2. The Book Thief universe

Okay, yeah I get that this is actually our own universe just several decades ago, but I don't want to live then! Nazi Germany and losing like all the people you love to war, no thank you!


3. New World (from Chaos Walking)

Having to hear every dude's thoughts all the time--eck! That sounds terrible. Like I can imagine everything that they would say already (since that's about 90% of the media as it is)


4. Matched universe

To be fair, I only read the first book in this trilogy, but the idea that you have to listen to what a committee tells you on who you're supposed to love? Blech. The fun part about love is that you can love a lot of people in one life and you can meet people and love more than one person. Like ughhh. I'd rather lie down and not move again.


5. Uglies universe

I'm on book three of this quartet, and I find the whole universe pretty awful (haha punny). It's boring to have everyone be "perfect." But I will admit that it would be really fun to be able to change your appearance more or less at will (my preference would be the HP universe version--hell yeah metamorphmaguses, magi?).

6. I would never want to be Clay from Thirteen Reasons Why

It's bad enough when someone close to you kills themselves, but it's even worse when they then explain to you why from beyond the grave.


7. Divergent universe

For spoilerific reasons. But if you really want to know ask me and I'll tell you exactly why, ugh.


8. I would never want to be Lolita 

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW


9. Beautiful Creatures universe

Like I'm cool with lots of magic and stuff, but a birthday countdown ending on having to decide what you want to be for the very rest of your life? WHY CAN'T I BE BOTH??

10. I would never want to be Charlie from Perks of Being a Wallflower

Like he has a pretty shitty life. Poor kid.

What would be on your list??? Honestly, I saw a lot of Hunger Games, and like, maybe I'm crazy, but I would totally be down for that. I'm a big fan of revolutions though.

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
